Condition
General Motors has decided that certain 2004-2011 model year Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon regular cab vehicles and extended cab vehicles
without a rear seat, and equipped with a front 60/40 split bench seat fail to conform to Federal/Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 225,
(CMVSS) 210.1, Child Restraint Anchorage Systems. The child restraint top tether anchor for the front center seat position in these vehicles is not
accessible as required by the Standard. Without the top tether anchor, the child restraint may not be properly secured. FMVSS 225 also requires that the
Owner Manual includes a step-by-step procedure for attaching a child restraint top tether to a vehicle top tether anchor.
Correction
Customers will be mailed an Owner Manual Supplement that describes how to install a child restraint using a top tether in the center position. Dealers are
to modify the back panel trim cover to allow access to the top tether anchor, if requested by the customer.
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2004-2011 model year Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon regular cab vehicles and extended cab vehicles without a rear seat,
and equipped with a front 60/40 split bench seat.
All involved vehicles are identified by VIN in the Global Warranty Management System - Investigate Vehicle History (GMVIS2) Application in the
Applicable Warranties section. Dealership technicians should always check this site to confirm vehicle involvement prior to beginning any required
inspections and/or repairs.
